From what I've read of it Deadly Class is a lot more like one of those not-quite-so-sanitized teen movies, except with lots of murder and crime. Like, An edgy teen movie that is then made more edgy by taking place in the John Wick universe

Infinitum posted:Leopardon rocked up in the first Spiderverse event I always feel this page when posted by itself is a bit disingenuous, because then Morlun and them completely wreck it on the next page like it's a loving Sentinel or something What a terrible bunch of villains. Whose idea was it to have the Multiversal Coalition of Spider-People be menaced by a bunch of weird Anne Rice rejects, all things?

My interpretation is that Lex admires, but pities Batman the way that Superman admires, but pities Luthor, i.e. "All that brilliance and yet you waste it on fighting circus themed serial killers and breaking mugger bones. You could be doing something productive! Like killing Superman!"

Not casting any aspersions on this comic in particular (although that helmet should have a tiara motif), but was anything ever done in comics to redeem the Old Man Logan setting? Because it's pretty Millar-y in the worst way, but they keep going back to it. Maybe because Logan (the movie) was good?

TwoPair posted:I think for the most part the OML setting is just an intriguing one, which is why people want to keep revisiting it (aside from yes, the Logan thing). The original, for all it's Millar-y faults, presented a devastated world with a simple premise ("the villains won, the world's poo poo") and left enough unseen that readers, and now of course authors, get to speculate all about how exactly the villains did win, how life in the post-apocalypse is, and to tell stories with the characters left (and to take advantage of characters Millar didn't specify as dead in the original, like for example, Viv Vision). I dunno, it's probably just a matter of personal taste, but "bad guys won" AUs are a dime a dozen and much prefer stuff like the cyberpunk nightmare of AOA or any number of Dooms "I won but I'm bored now" setups than the Mad Max pastiche stuff in the Old Man Logan setting, and that's before you get into inbred Hulks hillbillies

Push El Burrito posted:Look Rhino is strong enough that Daredevil shouldn't have been able to take him off his feet like that, furthermore does anyone here have any interest in figuring out how much force would be generated by a 180-220 pound man launching a choke with a nigh-unbreakable cord at someone who is charging him that probably weighs between 800 pounds and a ton and a half and is moving between 40-50 mph?

John Dyne posted:I feel like Spider-Man has done the same trick but since it's Spider-Man and things have to be wacky, Rhino just kept running with Pete hanging on for dear life behind him. Peter is generally either not skilled or not severe enough to try and choke out his villains, depending on the tone and context of the story This is honestly one of the things I hated about when Slott tried to teach him kung fu. Spider-Man getting an in depth combat education is weird to me because he really doesn't need it, he's basically on the tier below all the world-breakers already. It's probably just a stupid fanboy quibble of mine, like whenever Batman makes ongoing use out of power armor instead of using it on special occasions. If these characters are going to exist in a state of quasi-stasis and never evolve that much, I think it makes a lot of sense for them to stay in their drat lanes. Or if you're going to expand their scope, do it in a good way like Batman Inc.

There are shows with zero sexual content or even a dearth of female characters who will still have official cheesecake art floating around, whether as illustrations used for merch or something to stick in a magazine or whatever. Do not judge too harshly by the results of what an image search turns up. this warning doesn't apply to kemono michi though, it is actually horny, i like the one with the really paranoid guy better

Tsilkani posted:The Hulk Buster always works. I'm pretty sure the first time it was ever used it was against Smart Huilk who was like "lol cute" and then proceeded to de-escalate the situation, because he didn't want to fight anyway It MIGHT have worked but considering how little he seemed to be worried about it, it didn't really make a strong impression other than looking really cool (Which is why anything comes back, see also; Venom)

I can see the appeal of the concept on a surface level (which is usually about as far as it goes with Aaron stuff) but kung fu Thor is a bit like kung fu Spider-Man in that it feels like sugarcoating something that was already sweet and high in calories

This is as good a place to bring it up as any, but I always found that Millar going "Norman was always super evil and becoming the Goblin just made him crazy" resulted in him being a lot more generic than he had been previously. It's been kind of salvaged since then by making it so that Norman has all these ambitions of greatness with the Goblin persona acting like an impulse-driven roadblock to his greater aspirations, but at the time I thought it was pretty lame

Clotheslining a random normie sounds like a bad idea for a guy like him, unless he likes picking up bits of chest out of his shirt for weeks. by comics logic characters like say, Terrax or Mongul are adequately described as random jerks

I feel like J'onn's "incredibly powerful but lonesome, noble fish out of water" schtick works way better for Silver Surfer probably partially because of the much stronger design As for Superman, I liked the period in the 00s where they depicted the upper limits of his powers as having a cost. Like he can be faster than the Flash or punch through offbrand Galactus' brainpan but he has to fly into the sun and fry his body out for the next few days as a result. I always thought there'd be an interesting story to explore where if he starts pushing himself harder and harder he feels his humanity start to slip due because he's acting so far removed from human levels of perception. That'd make a much better explanation for "Why isn't he constantly operating at unimaginable levels to minimize harm in the world" than the current reason, which I believe boils down to "work life balance, baby"

Did they ever explain where all the adamantium was coming from? Did Proteus just whip it up in between resurrections? I feel like with telepathy, the astral plane is sort of the internet for brains and souls, so it's less about your brainwaves travelling through the air and more some sort of relativistic poo poo about how psychic signals travel through there
